Lately I was fortunate enough to receive three different SA opportunities from several BBs. I haven't seen a lot of discussion on CB and SP on the forum, and I'm curious why most people opt for IBD when all these divisions have similar pay and better wlb. Which is the better long term career for someone who wants to make a decent amount and still have a life?

which BBs?? It matters.
all three are mid-tier BB, so think BAML/Citi/CS/Barclays
Corp banking is way different than S&T. Which of these roles do you find most interesting?
For comp ranked it would be like this:
2.securitization
Personally I find securitization to be the most interesting but since it's such a niche area, I'm not too sure about exit ops and opportunities outside of US since I do want to relocate internationally at some point. In terms of comps, the offers I received was CB > s&t = sp (not sure about the bonus tho)
